Today, we’ve decided to pull out 5 simple, classic and old school exercises that have been proven to work over the years. These workouts (in one sequence) form a full-body, fat burning workout routine that is fun to do!

First, start by walking.

Walking: 30 minutes

One of the easiest forms of exercise for most people, walking has been proven time and again to have many health benefits. Research has shown that walking just 30 minutes or more a day can help:

reduce the risk of heart disease

improve blood pressure, blood sugar levels and blood lipid profile

manage body weight and reduce the risk of obesity

enhance mental well being

reduce the risk of osteoporosis

reduce the risk of certain cancers

lower the risk of type 2 diabetes

After the walk complete 1 set of each exercise, then repeat the cycle until you have done each exercise 3 times.

Squats: 15-20 Squats per set

Squatting is one of the most functional exercises we can do. We use a squatting motion all the time in daily life, from getting out of a chair to bending down to pick up something off the floor, being able to properly squat is crucial to staying mobile. Squats are more than a leg exercise. Squats are a whole body movement which when done properly:

works the core,

improves balance and mobility,

help burn fat,

improve bone health

and possibly reduce the likelihood of injury.

Push-ups: As many push ups as you can do

This is one of the best exercises to work the upper body, push-ups can be done anywhere and require no equipment whatsoever. Push-ups deliver a lot of bang for your buck, as they work the:

chest,

shoulders,

triceps

and core muscles all at once.

Plank: 30 seconds (Try to work your way up to 1 minute.)

Planks are one of the best exercises to work the entire core: abdominals, lower back, and postural muscles, glutes, and hip muscles. Planks can help:

to prevent back injuries

and increase your stability during all other exercises.

Fire-Hydrants: 10-15 on each leg per set

Fire-Hydrants activate and strengthen the glutes and hip muscles which are often weak and imbalanced on people, especially runners. Focus on keeping good form with your hips level the whole time.
